Hi, I’m Kaku — your local guide based in Hiroshima! I’m passionate about connecting with people through travel, culture, and conversation. Before becoming a guide, I studied in Chile for six months, taught Japanese in Indonesia, and hitchhiked across the United States from California to New York — a journey that changed the way I see the world. I’ve visited around 20 countries so far, and I’m always eager to learn something new from every traveler I meet. In Hiroshima, I love showing guests both the well-known highlights and the hidden corners that even locals often overlook — from peaceful shrines and scenic mountains to cozy neighborhood spots where you can meet real Hiroshima people. I’m also a big fan of soccer, hot springs, hiking, and traditional board games like shogi and mahjong. So whether you’d like a relaxed cultural walk, an adventurous day outdoors, or a local food experience, I’ll make sure it’s memorable and full of genuine connections. Hiroshima has many stories beyond its history of war and peace — it’s also a place of resilience, creativity, and warmth. I’d love to share those stories with you and help you experience the heart of this city, not just see it. Let’s explore Hiroshima together — like old friends discovering something new.
